Longeviti Neuro Solutions has launched its novel ClearFit implant to correct and/or restore bony voids or defects of the cranium. This clear, patient-specific implant enables neurosurgeons to see neuroanatomy and critical functional components beneath the ClearFit once it is implanted.

“The real advantage to this system is the ability to see what’s underneath the cranioplasty,” said Dr. Justin Caplan, assistant professor of neurosurgery with Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, in a statement from Longeviti. “Now instead of having to worry if there is blood accumulating putting pressure on the brain, the surgeon can see this directly right up until the wound is closed.”
